Analysis of Mr. Nasty Writes A Poem...



There's nothing wrong with self belief
but it's no substitute for real talent
that is something that some people have
and many others sadly just haven't.

Nevertheless their voices are loud
demanding that they must be heard
but some of us would rather not listen
to those whose claims are absurd.

So get on and write your poems
claim what you will about your verse
but please you arrogant loud ones
don't cry when my reviews are terse.

(This piece rather invites harsh reviews but I'll just have to live with it!)
